and it's actually the g-20 meeting this weekend in russia that's the focus for a lot of investors. it's the yen in particular. we had the g-7 come out and create a little confusion in the market. first with the statement that seemed sort of tacitly say it was okay for japan and some countries to have been talking down their currency to the effect that they did. then turning around yesterday and trying to say, look, they meant for the statement, the statement out of the g-7, to come across as signaling concern about the excessive moves in the yen. then a canadian official struck much of the same note when asked by press later that evening. the did give up significant ground on that strength -- strengthened, i should say. the nikkei took a hit. now the focus turns to the g-20. could be more volatility heading into. that the reason, by the way, that i'm here at this camera is because we're carrying mervyn king's inflation report. on the back of that, he talked about seeing higher inflation rates in the u.k. sterling at a six hoof month low against the dollar. back to you. >> thank you
